Be The Quick Red Fox And Not The Lazy Dog
Many of you already use Firefox as your browser of choice. So for those of you who have made the jump [of course - some of you may have been there at the beginning - so no jump required!], here are some incredibly useful plugins.
[For those of you have yet to jump, maybe the sheer unbridled usefulness of these plugins will help make the case for switching]
For those of you who are managing the content of your sites and/or blogs with WordPress, Scribefire is a real time saver. It will allow you to easily post to WordPress from the safety of any web page – no more explicitly logging in to WordPress required.
This plugin will allow you to take a screenshot of an entire web page regardless of whether the page scrolls – need I say more? Hope not – as it really doesn’t do much else – and why should it – as negating the need to take multiple screenshots of a single web page should be enough for anyone! So when one of the SD team asks you to send a screenshot – you will now have no excuse!
A very nifty little tool this one. It does a very many good things – with the highlight being the provision of an in-browser eyedropper. If you see a colour you like, but it is slap bang in the middle of a complex image, you now have a way of selecting it and then telling SD all about it.
Saving the best for last – Scrapbook allows you to highlight the text and/or add post-it notes to a web page and then send the resulting page to someone else. So when asking SD to make changes to your website, no more needing to come up with elaborate and convoluted ways of expressing exactly which part of the layout you are referring to or which text you want changed – no more ‘1000 words’ required!
As a web development company that prides itself on developing solutions that work cross-platform, we use, and have experience of, just about every browser there is – but Firefox is always the browser we choose when we are not testing, but simply using a browser as God intended…
